As a developer, there are few things more exciting than new versions of your chosen language. We spend a lot of time writing and working with code, and every new version brings new syntax and other goodies that make working with code even more enjoyable than it already is. PHP 7 and 7.1 are no exception.
In this course, Jeremy McPeak will take you through each of the new language features in PHP 7 and 7.1. Jeremy will get you up to speed with the latest and greatest for the PHP language, with practical examples of each new feature.

I started my development career on the client-side writing JavaScript and DHTML components in my spare time. In 2005, Nicholas C. Zakas asked me to join him in writing the first edition of Professional Ajax for Wiley Publishing. Since Professional Ajax, 1st Edition, I've been blessed to take part in other book projects: Professional Ajax 2nd Edition, and Beginning JavaScript 3rd and 4th editions.
